[Pythoncard-users] PythonCardPrototype release 0.5.1

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I've created another zip so that Simon Kittle's textRouter sample is now
part of the distribution. This is a great sample app which uses XML-RPC for:
  posting/editing/deleting to/from Blogger.
  adding/getting/setting/flipping Manila homepages, stories and uploading
images.
   (Multiple Manila accounts supported)
  sending out emails
  passing text through "filters" (user defined commands, done with pipes)
  See http://simon.kittle.info/ and
http://simon.kittle.info/stories/storyReader$112 for more info.

I would love to see more samples that stress the framework to expose
problems and limitations with the current system. Andy Todd's dbBrowser in
another good sample. I'm more than happy to help anyone that has an idea for
an app they would like to do, so just speak up.

You can get the latest PythonCardPrototype at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=19015

I made some older versions back to the last distutils build available. I can
go back even further if anyone is interested.

Remember to backup or just delete your old PythonCardPrototype directory
before installing a new version, so that the old files aren't still in the
package directory. As always, report any problems to the list.
